Few websites you should check out!

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I am taking an opportunity showcase a few websites that I feel everyone would enjoy, so go on….enjoy!

  • The Father Life:”Written by fathers, for fathers…”
      The Father Life wasn’t cooked up in some Madison Avenue boardroom. It was started by three guys just like you! The three of us are busy with career and young families, and we were looking around for a good men’s magazine geared toward today’s fathers… to our surprise, we couldn’t find one! So, we started The Father Life!”
  • This E-Zine is a great source for articles, recipes and sports directed towards Fathers. The Father Life is all online, and totally free. I highly recommend subscribing to their RSS feed:Check it out Here

  • SIRIUS BACKSTAGE: This is an online community filled with advice, how-to’s, and the latest SIRIUS news.

“On February 14, 2002, SIRIUS Satellite Radio debuted a completely revolutionary new nationwide radio service. SIRIUS Backstage was originally sparked as a weblog to cover news and host photos of the SIRIUS service launch.On September 20, 2002, SIRIUS Backstage launched their online forums, and soon afterward began an initiative to become the PREMIER online satellite radio community and fan site.With the help of an eclectic team of moderators and an active community of SIRIUS ‘Brand Representatives’, SIRIUS Backstage now boasts 31,500+ members, pulling together the No. 1 community and fan site for SIRIUS enthusiasts.”

They’ll be working on the site continuously to bring you the most current news, information, best stories from the mobile industry, etc. etc. If you want to join “The Crack Team,” we want to hear from you.

It was nuts here during the holidays

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

The holiday season for TSS-Radio peaks about two weeks before christmas and subsides at the end of the January.  It is a fun time for us because we help lots of people, the adrenaline flows and we are on the top of our game, but everyone is a bit wiped right now and are glad that it is beginning to slow.

Here is a video of a busy day at TSS-Radio -

There and gone

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Busy morning this morning. Since 9am when I came in our phoneboard has looked like an X-mas tree. Since our new ads were ran on Sirius we have been getting a lot of calls about 07+ cars to convert XM to Sirius, which after I called the manufacturer I discovered are set to arrive around late Nov. (Update: still not available) The GM3a is the new version compatible with the newer cars that everyone has been asking about.

As if I jinxed myself this afternoon is calm in comparison to the morning. Which has freed up some time for writing up some installation instructions. It’s 3:30CT. And I end this post. Later

New location, new friends and a great view.

Monday, October 29th, 2007

What better of a view could you ask for than the Chicago skyline on a chilly fall morning? My name is Josh, I work here at tss-radio.com. I am writing here so everyone can see the people on the other end of the phone. I write so you can see that we are people dedicated to serving the consumer. Our company is entirely over the phone or internet, using this blog I can show you who I am, the man on the other end of the phone.

I’m a small town kid. I grew up in Cherry Valley,Il a small village(yes a village) that sits just outside Rockford. I did the whole athlete thing, football in the fall, wrestling in the winter and tennis in the spring. After high school I went to U of Dubuque in Iowa. I wrestled there for one season and decided that school was more important than sports so I transferred to COD , College of Dupage. Here I am taking Pre-Law after which I plan to attend Depaul for law school.

I got hired here at tss-radio only three weeks ago. I love my job. Nothing is more refreshing than waking up in the morning and being excited to go to work. So soon to fall in love with my job you say? No way, I get excited about the things I do here and being passionate about work produces good work. I love talking to our customers. Solving the problems I encounter only makes my job more fulfilling.

My coworkers are a great bunch. We all interact well together helping each other with our own strengths. We all bring a lot to the table and having a group with such different strengths and weaknesses only creates a diverse group of minds with different views on problems and solutions.Each one of us is extremely clever I might add. I have only been here for a short time, but I can see that such a good core unit of individuals in a fast growing company will spawn good coworkers in the future. They all trained me and helped me find the right way to do things.This work wisdom will be passed along to my next future coworker.

My boss is probably the most well spoken person I have ever run across. Always knows what to say and how to say it. Never has a problem been posed to him that I have not seen him see it through to the end. Goes above and beyond all expectations and keeps us all informed on current trends and Sirius news.

So we find ourselves at the end of my first post here I welcome you to continue reading and commenting. Feel free to send me an email or call me up, I am here for you. Just know that on the other end of that phone is someone who cares about your problem, and is here to help.
